LEGION PLAY READY
FOR OPENING FRIDAY
'The Plungers," a Comedy-
Drama, Will Be Seen For the
First Time In the Community
Building With a Cast Composed Exclusively of North Canton Performers.
REPEAT SATURDAY NIGHT
After many weeks of hard, yes,
gruelling drilling, Howard Zengler
feels confident that he has the cast of
"The Plungers" whipped into shape,
and so he is going to present the
comedy-drama in the Community
Building on Friday and Saturday
nights.
"An American Legion play never
failed in this town to date," said the
hardworking director to a writer for
The Sun, "and 'The Plungers' will he j
no exception to the general rule." t
Zengler Is Confident
"Feel confident you have an attractive vehicle and that it will go
across?" asked The Sun writer.
"I know it. The plot is good, the
lines are bright and the Legion Flayers display "lots of wliat I call spirit.
The people are going to be more than
pleased with the play; they are going
to be delighted," said Mr. Zengler.
Outline of Plot
The story of "The Plungers" is
briefly this: A young man goes to
New York to avenge the death of his
father and mother who after being
swindled out of their life's savings
by a group of stock brokers, die of
hroken hearts.
The young man succeeds in making
three of the swindlers paupers, but
the head of the gang "breaks" the
hero and he is compelled to return to
Ms law practice. A year later he defends the fellow that Tuined him.
The plot is carefully concealed and
there is plenty of comedy.
The Cast
The members of the cast belong to
North Canton. They are:
Robert Gray Dwight Harsh
John Boitows M. It. Bixler
June Borrows Kay Harsh
Dickie Don Myers
Loimie George Nodle
Rosie Leota LeBeau
Helen Winters Fern Heldenbrand
Vance Studdiford Pete Workinger

Just a few easy-going
remarks on a number of subjects.
By BEN LONG
The New President
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT will
be inaugurated President of the
United States on Saturday. After
he takes the oath of office and enters
the doors of the White House he will
embrace endless trouble. Great indeed must be the heart that can withstand and the mind that can surmount it.
Mr. Roosevelt is confident that he
can lead the country back to normalcy. We are confident that if the
people will extend to him the same
amount of confidence that he appears
to possess in himself, he will do it.
That's all we need—CONFIDENCE! If the blood of our forefathers still flows in our veins, this is
the time to make it tell.

To Mr. Hoover
HEN you return to your California home, a private citizen
again after I'our years of
strenuous labor in behalf of the
American people, you will take with
you the well wishes of many millions

sincerely trust that the years remaining to you will be full of happiness
and devoid of troubles, a reward
which-every President richly earns.

Fortunately for North Canton, our

"Mr. \V. H. Hoover is dead, but his
spirit lives on," said Karl Gooseman,
superintendent of the Goodwill Union
Mission, speaking ■ to the Sunday-
school youngsters of the Union Mission on Sunday afternoon.
"It was ai year ago last Saturday
that North Canton's outstanding
Christian gentleman passed away. Tbe
greatest thing that can be said of
W. H. Hoover is that the influence of
his Christian life will live on, not
alone in our community, but over a
much larger area. He was truly 'a
friend lo humanity.'
Real Friend of Mission
"I sincerely hope this organization
will continue to honor the memory of
this beloved man, for he certainly
meant a great deal to our institution.
He was president of the Mission
Board of Directors and gave largely
of his means to support it. One check
for 822,000 was contributed by this
generous-hearted man to purchase
property for the Mission. W. H.
Hoover learned that true happiness
came to those who served their fel-
lowman." Let us honor his memory
today and follow his Christian exam
pie throughout our lives," said S
perintendent Gooseman.
Special Sunday Dinner
Even the men and boys making
their home at the Goodwill Union
Mission were given cause to remember the first anniversary of the death
of Mr. Hoover for a special Sunday
dinner was served to all, in memory
of him. Roast pork, dressing, mashed
potatoes and gravy, cole-slaw and beet

menu.

LEGION PLAY READY
FOR OPENING FRIDAY
'The Plungers," a Comedy-
Drama, Will Be Seen For the
First Time In the Community
Building With a Cast Composed Exclusively of North Canton Performers.
REPEAT SATURDAY NIGHT
After many weeks of hard, yes,
gruelling drilling, Howard Zengler
feels confident that he has the cast of
"The Plungers" whipped into shape,
and so he is going to present the
comedy-drama in the Community
Building on Friday and Saturday
nights.
"An American Legion play never
failed in this town to date," said the
hardworking director to a writer for
The Sun, "and 'The Plungers' will he j
no exception to the general rule." t
Zengler Is Confident
"Feel confident you have an attractive vehicle and that it will go
across?" asked The Sun writer.
"I know it. The plot is good, the
lines are bright and the Legion Flayers display "lots of wliat I call spirit.
The people are going to be more than
pleased with the play; they are going
to be delighted," said Mr. Zengler.
Outline of Plot
The story of "The Plungers" is
briefly this: A young man goes to
New York to avenge the death of his
father and mother who after being
swindled out of their life's savings
by a group of stock brokers, die of
hroken hearts.
The young man succeeds in making
three of the swindlers paupers, but
the head of the gang "breaks" the
hero and he is compelled to return to
Ms law practice. A year later he defends the fellow that Tuined him.
The plot is carefully concealed and
there is plenty of comedy.
The Cast
The members of the cast belong to
North Canton. They are:
Robert Gray Dwight Harsh
John Boitows M. It. Bixler
June Borrows Kay Harsh

Just a few easy-going
remarks on a number of subjects.
By BEN LONG
The New President
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT will
be inaugurated President of the
United States on Saturday. After
he takes the oath of office and enters
the doors of the White House he will
embrace endless trouble. Great indeed must be the heart that can withstand and the mind that can surmount it.
Mr. Roosevelt is confident that he
can lead the country back to normalcy. We are confident that if the
people will extend to him the same
amount of confidence that he appears
to possess in himself, he will do it.
That's all we need—CONFIDENCE! If the blood of our forefathers still flows in our veins, this is
the time to make it tell.

To Mr. Hoover
HEN you return to your California home, a private citizen
again after I'our years of
strenuous labor in behalf of the
American people, you will take with
you the well wishes of many millions
of your fellow men and women, who
sincerely trust that the years remaining to you will be full of happiness
and devoid of troubles, a reward
which-every President richly earns.

he won't dare turn YOU down," is the
way some of the grafters write to
ministers, superintendents of schools
and business men.
Fortunately for North Canton, our
clergymen, school olficials and business men pay no attention to the
space grafters and their copy goes I
into the waste basket, consequently j

The reason for such an attitude is
not hard to locate. In every state

connected with the public schools.

"Mr. \V. H. Hoover is dead, but his
spirit lives on," said Karl Gooseman,
superintendent of the Goodwill Union
Mission, speaking ■ to the Sunday-
school youngsters of the Union Mission on Sunday afternoon.
"It was ai year ago last Saturday
that North Canton's outstanding
Christian gentleman passed away. Tbe
greatest thing that can be said of
W. H. Hoover is that the influence of
his Christian life will live on, not
alone in our community, but over a
much larger area. He was truly 'a
friend lo humanity.'
Real Friend of Mission
"I sincerely hope this organization
will continue to honor the memory of
this beloved man, for he certainly
meant a great deal to our institution.
He was president of the Mission
Board of Directors and gave largely
of his means to support it. One check
for 822,000 was contributed by this
generous-hearted man to purchase
property for the Mission. W. H.
Hoover learned that true happiness
came to those who served their fel-
lowman." Let us honor his memory
today and follow his Christian exam
pie throughout our lives," said S
perintendent Gooseman.
Special Sunday Dinner
Even the men and boys making
their home at the Goodwill Union
Mission were given cause to remember the first anniversary of the death
of Mr. Hoover for a special Sunday
dinner was served to all, in memory
of him. Roast pork, dressing, mashed
potatoes and gravy, cole-slaw and beet
salad, cake and coffee were on the
menu.
